The Warriors have waived Javonte Green, the team announced on Thursday (via Twitter).
Green, 30, has spent the past four seasons playing for Boston and Chicago. The 6’4″ guard/forward was limited to 32 games in 2022/23 due to a lingering right knee problem.
A strong athlete and defender who is limited offensively, Green holds career averages of 5.1 PPG and 2.8 RPG on .534/.342/.753 shooting in 186 regular season contests (15.8 MPG).
While it was previously reported that Green was expected to be waived and play for the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s NBA G League affiliate, we later learned that he had signed an Exhibit 9 contract, not an Exhibit 10 deal. That means he may not be headed to Santa Cruz after all, and it’s unclear what’s next for the former Radford Highlander, who played four seasons in Europe from 2015-19 after going undrafted.
Unless there’s something heath related behind the scenes, I don’t see why bulls didn’t bring him back. Great defender and energy guy , plus he was shooting the 3 at a solid clip, especially before injury. There were times he was the only bull on the floor who looked like he gave a f.
He would be great in Denver as a brown replacement
Green was a great rotation player for the Bulls. Athletic, a warrior. Darn shame that his knee isn’t right.
